ZCCR Site - Drive-In-Movie-Mania this week-end !!!

Hello All! Here's the latest from YOUR club:

* We are closing the books on our recently concluded All Japanese Car Show Weekend and so far all feedback is positive. It looks like we will be able to significantly increase our donation over last year to our two 2010 charities, The Breast Cancer Coalition of Rochester and the Rochester/Finger Lakes Eye and Tissue Bank. Final numbers are still being crunched but it looks like at least a 50% donation increase over last year. This is course attributable to the hard work of the army of ZCCR volunteers who made the event happen and those of you who participated. You all know who you are, so on behalf of myself and the entire Board of Directors, THANK YOU!

* We had just over 150 cars of all Japanese makes and models represented at the car show! From stock to wild, there was something for everyone's taste. Look for a new twist in 2011 that should greatly increase that number! ;-)

* The many out-of-town guests who came to participate in the weekend all are commenting on what a great time they had. From the Friday Kickoff Party, to the Car Show, to the Watkins Glen experience, ALL had a wonderful weekend and are looking forward to coming back in 2011. Let's hope that they bring more of their friends with them!

* Pictures from the All Japanese Car Show Weekend are now up on the website in a new photo gallery. More are being added daily, so check back for the latest.

* The last note on the AJCS is a HUGE "THANK YOU" to all of our sponsors whose generosity enabled us to put on the entire weekend event AND make a significant contribution to our local charities. All of the sponsors will be listed in the next club newsletter and some are linked on the website homepage. I strongly encourage all ZCCR members to patronize our sponsors to thank them for supporting YOUR club.

* ATTENTION! WE HAVE ADDED A NEW EVENT TO THE CALENDAR! THIS SATURDAY, JULY 24, we are CRUISIN' TO THE DRIVE-IN! Yes, do to popular demand, we are reinstating our yearly trek to the VINTAGE DRIVE-IN in Avon, NY. The Vintage Drive-In has three screens that show two first-run movies each. There will be a HUGE ZCCR TAILGATE PARTY before the first movie! That's right, bring your favorite snack or dish to pass and a beverage to set up shop in front of our Zs to have some fun before the movie starts! The details:
* MEET AT THE JEFFERSON PLAZA, 1100 Jefferson Rd. in Henrietta (right next to Rt. 390) at 6:45pm this Saturday July 24. Meet up front near the "Five Guys" restaurant. We will depart for the Drive-In by 7:00pm.
* BRING your own lawn chairs, a dish to pass, snacks and beverage, if you wish.
* Admission is $8 for adults, $4 for children aged 4-10. There is also a $5 per car "food permit" fee (still better than buying drive-in food!).
* First movie starts at approx 9:00pm, second shortly after 11. We will "vote" on which movies to see before departure. Of course you are free to see whatever movies you wish, but why wouldn't you WANT TO PARK WITH THE REST OF THE Zs??? ;-)
* THIS EVENT IS WEATHER PERMITTING of course. No fun watching outdoor movies in the rain!
* Shoot me an email if you are attending so we know to look for you!
